Soum, That really depends on your intended career path. Do you plan on filling a hands-on position in networking, a technical job in InfoSec, or perform a strategic IT/InfoSec management function? Holding certifications will help you land a job in the realm of the certificate. It demonstrates a measured level of understanding within that field, and possibly experience. Holding a University degree will help you get a job in the realm of general business. It demonstrates a level of commitment, and understanding of the field of study. They are complimentary. If I was just entering the field, uncertain of my direction, and had the time and the resources, I would pursue a single cert, then the degree, then other certs to fill the gaps.
